Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be added to Topps' repertoire of trading cards next week as part of its series featuring the main political players on the 2008 campaign trail.

One card will show Palin taking the oath of office as Alaska's governor in a black suit — much like the 12 collector cards issued earlier showing Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden and others.

But Palin will also be featured on a second, limited-edition card as an Alaskan beauty pageant contestant in the 1980s.

"With all the talk about her being a beauty queen, we thought it would just be fun to do a second card," Clay Luraschi, director of product development for New York-based Topps Company Inc., said in a telephone interview Friday.

The Palin cards will be distributed in packets of Topps baseball cards starting next week.
